Developer reliability
The main direction of the York Development Group, which has been on the market for more than 20 years, is investment and construction activities in the area luxury real estate. During its work, the organization built seven elite residential complexes in the center of St. Petersburg and Sestroretsk, and also created commercial facilities in prestigious areas of the city: Petrogradsky, Central, Vyborgsky and Kurortny.
The deadline for the completion of the latest project - the residential complex "House on Grota, 1-3", which is part of a conceptually integral complex at 18 Pesochnaya embankment, was postponed twice, as a result of which the object was commissioned with a delay of exactly one year.
Architecture
The elite residential complex "House on Grota, 1-3" is the second stage of the residential complex "Pesochnaya embankment, 18", commissioned in 2007. The second phase complements the first, resulting in the formation of a single building with built-in office space and a two-level underground parking. The second stage includes 50 apartments ranging from 52.6 to 221.7 square meters. m. The apartments were offered for sale without finishing.
Modern materials, including porcelain stoneware, were used to decorate the interiors of corridors, halls and lobbies, which were carried out according to an exclusive design project. Natural stone, porcelain stoneware and ventilated panels were used in the architectural decoration of the facades, reducing the amount of heat loss from the building. Almost all apartments in the residential complex have views - they have windows overlooking Pesochnaya Embankment and Malaya Nevka.
The modern engineering equipment of the residential complex corresponds to its high status. The house is fully automated and can be controlled via control center. The building is equipped with: a supply ventilation system for apartments with air heating, a central air conditioning system, a three-stage water purification system, and Swedish KERMI radiators. Three-phase power supply power 15 kW. Silent high-speed OTIS elevators descend into the basement of the parking lot.
The house on Grota 1/3 is an elite new building that was built in the Petrogradsky district of St. Petersburg. The first of two phases – a 48-apartment building with offices and underground parking – was commissioned back in 2007. In 2016, the second stage was completed - a building was built at 18 Pesochnaya Embankment. The residential building includes 50 apartments, office space and a two-level underground parking.
The house was built using brick-monolithic technology, and curtain panels made of natural stone and porcelain stoneware were used to decorate the facades. All apartments are delivered unfinished, with stained-glass panoramic glazing and high ceilings of 3 m. The windows offer views of the Nevka River and the Kamenny and Krestovsky islands located on the other bank.
York Development's public areas are decorated with high-quality materials based on an individual design project.

High-speed passenger elevators with descent to the underground level of the garage have been installed.
Infrastructure
The courtyard includes a walking area and a children's playground. Landscape gardening was carried out with the installation of small architectural forms. Within walking distance from the complex there are park areas of Krestovsky Island, supermarkets "Setka", "Idea" and "Land", a large number of municipal and private schools, gymnasiums and kindergartens, the shopping and office center "Euroavto", cultural and entertainment and other institutions. . There are 2 tbsp nearby. metro stations - "Chkalovskaya" (5 minutes by car or 15-20 minutes on foot) and "Petrogradskaya" (8 minutes by car or 25 minutes on foot).

The project initially aroused sympathy: a very decent residential complex in a good location, not a compact development. We talked in more detail about the pros and cons of the location of the new residential complex in an earlier opinion of the portal. Our assessments have not changed since then. We only have to say with regret that the company has no time to implement this project. York Development Group it took a lot more than planned. They wanted to put the house into operation back in 2013, but in the end it was commissioned only in 2016 with a delay of more than two years. This was probably due to the crisis, which caused a decrease in demand for housing. But the delay did not affect the quality of the constructed facility: in this regard "House on Grotto Street 1/3" fully meets the definition of elite. However, York Development Group With previous projects he has already proven his ability to work in the premium segment. The company has an average score of “B”; experts note its stable performance. So, in our opinion, there is no point in strongly blaming a developer who failed to meet deadlines in times of crisis.
Apartments in this residential complex are very expensive. However, as far as can be judged by the dynamics of prices for apartments from realtors, in 2016 there was a decrease in their value, in some cases quite significant. As of February 2017, the most affordable offer here is a two-room apartment costing less than 13.5 million rubles. Overall in this house, according to the sales department York Development Group, about 30 apartments are currently available. That is, less than half of the apartments in the building have been sold so far.
If we consider alternative options in the nearby neighborhoods of the Petrogradsky district, there are currently quite a lot of them. Apartments are offered in rented (), from (company rating “B”), from (rating “C+”) and from. And also in complexes under construction (, rating “A”), and “Olympic Village” (both objects), from etc.

It would be an exaggeration to say that the company York Development Group belongs to the famous St. Petersburg developers. But the company has experience in the construction of luxury residential complexes. The residential complex “House on Pesochnaya Embankment, 18” was built and put into operation back in 2007. Therefore, potential buyers have the opportunity to evaluate the quality of the developer’s work. The company is currently completing the construction of the second phase of this elite residential complex. Officially it goes like Residential complex "House on Grota Street 1/3".
The layout of the apartments in the house is very functional. Everything is convenient, there are large kitchen-dining rooms, dressing rooms, spacious balconies. In terms of design parameters, this house fits the definition of an elite one. As for the location, the elitism here is somewhat questionable. The disadvantages of the residential complex include the lack of a direct view of Malaya Nevka (however, from the windows of a number of apartments the river should be visible, since the mansions standing next door are low). But, unlike house 18 on Pesochnaya Embankment, this building is not located right next to the roadway. It is fenced off from noise and dust by the first building.
In general, it cannot be said that this part of the Petrogradsky district definitely fits the definition of prestigious and elite. New and old houses, industrial enterprises and government institutions coexist here mixed together. After all, elite housing is what is on the other side of the river: mansions, palaces and government dachas on Kamenny Island.
But be that as it may, it is still Petrogradka. Residential complexes are being built here, at a minimum, of business class, and the prices for apartments here are very high.
And yet it cannot be said that living on the street. The grotto will be comfortable in every sense. The social infrastructure in this part of the Petrograd region is underdeveloped. Let's say there is a kindergarten in the next block, but that's all. To gain access to social services and shops, you need to go deeper into the center of the Petrograd side.
The ecological situation is generally normal, due to the proximity of the river, Vyazemsky Garden and a sufficient number of trees growing in the courtyards next to the new building. Let's not forget about the proximity of Kamenny and Krestovsky islands. At the same time, an unfavorable background is created by a large number of cars on Pesochnaya Embankment and a small industrial zone to the south of the residential complex.
Transport accessibility of the complex is limited by constant traffic jams that form on Pesochnaya Embankment and Kamennoostrovsky Prospekt. Frankly speaking, communication between the Petrograd side and neighboring areas often becomes a problem. At the same time, the metro, although it is within walking distance from the residential complex, is still not as close as we would like (the distance to it is approximately 1.5 km).
